Well on a GTR you really need to put the sensor after the front pipes join so you get a reading (average) from all 6 cylinders instead of front or rear 3 only.

But for a GTST I can't see why not? Closer to the exhaust ports means a more accurate reading

Or you could by two kits from TE and get a reading of the front 3 and the back three, be good to compare anyway

The GTR thing makes sense, but 2 x WBO2 kits is getting a bit exorbinant, my only other issue would be with comparing the accuracy.

It says it's setup to emulate a Bosch LSM-11, what do Skylines run by default, and how close are they to this?

My guess would be there's not much difference, and that it shouldn't effect the car much, but if it did you'd notice the shit fuel economy pretty quick!

Looking thru the stats on these, they have an simulated Narrow band outpur (NBsim), is anyone using this?

i.e. Completely replacing the stock O2 sensor with the new WB one, then plumbing the NBsim output in to your ECU, or are you just mounting both?

The recently sold race car (not a Skyline) was done this way, it worked fine. The only problem is you have to leave the unit in the car all the time, if you take it out there is no lambda sensor input to the ECU ie; no closed loop running. I did that for a couple of days without thinking about it, driving around (rally rego) to signwriters etc and it sure guzzled the gas.

While I am tuning the Stagea (for a week or so, in all conditions) I wil run NBsim, remove the standard S&N lambda sensor and replace it with the F&W one. That way I won't have a cable running through the cabin and an expensive lambda sensor hanging out the rear. Asking to be hit or stolen.

: cheers :P

Hi SK,

The dicksmiths whisper 2000 is no longer available. But it has been replaced with a better unit: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefro...duct/View/Y1140

My question is how do you modify the microphone so that it somehow detects knock from an engine-mouted clip?

Can someone post up what pinging through one of these chassis ears sounds like?

LM1 vs techedge? WHich one SK do you prefer?

Thanks

Hi SK,

1. The dicksmiths whisper 2000 is no longer available. But it has been replaced with a better unit: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefro...duct/View/Y1140

2. My question is how do you modify the microphone so that it somehow detects knock from an engine-mouted clip?

3. Can someone post up what pinging through one of these chassis ears sounds like?

4. LM1 vs techedge? WHich one SK do you prefer?

Thanks

Suggestions follow;

1. I haven't seen one of the new style, but I assume it can be modified to suite. All it really needs is a long piece of shielded cable so you can clamp the mike in the engine bay and have the amp and headphones in the cabin. If someone has the complete Autospeed article, maybe they can post it up.

2. The one I saw had no mike mods that I could see, you just clamped it in a convenient place, the standard knock sensor retaining bolts work for me.

3. Sorry, not me, I don't have a portable recorder these days

4. I have used the TechEdge yet, so I can't really say. I chose the Tech Edge this time (over another LM1) mostly for the 1MB logging capacity on board and the number of logging inputs. They are extra cost items on the LM1, plus I like making electronics kits.

:( cheers :)

I have been in contact with tech edge and will be organising a group buy for those interested.

Will get the ball rolling after i get back from Drift Nationals this weekend

any idea on price?

also anyone got a cheap source for a exhaust clamp/venturi pipe?

id be interested in one im pretty sure (well i want an afr meter, just not sure which yet)

edit: depends on price....the pre-assembled ones seem to approach the cost of a lm-1 unit after a quick check of the order page

Edited by NewKleer

We will await SK's completion and see how it stacks up against the LM-1.

Oh and the G/B will be something for the new year, im sure not everone has a spare $600 round christmas time.

sorry, left out the word "kit" - im not getting the assembled one.

btw i asked earlier about anyone knowing about price for venturi pipe/exhaust clamp - http://www.rocketindustries.com.au/descrip...p?partno=IM3728 has them for $132 (best ive found so far)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
